interesting an different

I've actually never read one of these novels before involving werewolves and I must say for a first this one was amazing, I love Baumbach's books and this one is another splendid addition to my collection.

A Hot Time in the Old Igloo Tonight

This book will melt igloos and cold hearts. Adam is one hot, hunky, "half-breed (half white, half Native American)," dominant, alpha male werewolf, and his mate (he knows it for years before Connor even appears on the scene) is a short, slender, young blond doctor named Connor Jacy. This book, evidently the first of a series, tells how the two became acquainted and became life-mates, overcoming the bitter Alaskan winter and the interference of Jacy's fellow doctor/kind of lover. I actually thought it worked pretty well, if you're willing to swallow the main premise of the existence of werewolves who don't really kill humans, but "control the balance of nature" (whatever the hell that means; it really isn't ever explained). The two lovers are incredibly hot together with some scorching sex scenes between them. There's not a lot of conflict between them (Connor isn't really given a choice in the matter of his mate or whether he becomes a werewolf himself), but the two exhibit a strong attraction for each other and develop a powerful passion between them. Good gay romance and hot sex. No depth of plotline, but what do you expect. Apparently, some reviewers expected more than they should have. If you want powerful gay romance, sex and passion, you can find it here. Go for it.

Out There in the Night

Legend foretold of a wolf's mate that was of twin spirits. Dr. Conner Jacy doesn't know about this legend, but he dreams of a tall, dark, seductively handsome man who is the half that makes him whole. As an Alaskan Peninsula traveling health care physician, Conner thought he was happy. A fellow physician, Greg, has been his lover for five months, but something is missing. Something that Conner just can't stop thinking about. When Greg's selfishness becomes too much to bear, Conner volunteers to go through the Alaskan wilderness on a snowmobile to help a young Eskimo girl deliver a baby. On the way back to base, his snowmobile is attacked by a huge, black wolf and Conner is injured. Waking up in a strange cabin, Conner comes face to face with the man of his dreams and falls instantly in love. Adam has been waiting over 100 years for his mate. As the Alpha of a pack of Native American werewolf skin-walkers, Adam had almost given up until Fate decided differently; now he is at peace. Carrying an injured Conner into his cabin, Adam sets out to heal his mate. He cleans him, bandages his cuts and bruises, and then shares his body warmth with him. Adam knows that Conner is his destiny. Now, all he has to do is convince Conner of it. In order for the mating to be complete, Conner and Adam must mark each other three times. Plus, there is the added consequence of mating a werewolf... I had not read any previous teasers or summaries about Out There in the Night, so I began reading it without any hint of plot or content. For that, I am grateful because this story held me riveted from the moment I began to read. I am usually not a big fan of m/m or f/f books. However, Out There in the Night kept me enthralled until I read the last word. I could only wish for a mate who cared for me as much as Adam cared for Conner. As for Conner, he has to be the luckiest guy I have ever read about. Not only did he get an Alpha as a mate, but he is actually the one in control of the relationship because his mate lives to please him. All in all, a dream come true! Out There in the Night may be the first Laura Baumbach book I have read, but it won't be the last. I hope to read more from her soon! And for anyone wanting a great love story, Out There in the Night is that and more. Congratulations Ms. Baumbach on a truly, mind-opening, wonderful read! Talia reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Excellent!

This book being only 130 pages, it is more of a novella than a novel. That being said, the author packs a lot of punch into those pages. This is fantastic paranormal erotica, or "slash." The author must have done a good bit of research on Native Alaskans to give such a feeling of realism to the culture and rituals (even the imagined ones). The idea of a Native American skinwalker (werewolf) is richly explored here, and even the secondary characters are well developed. The love story between Connor and Adam is believable and there is plenty of sex. Overall, well worth the money.

Sensual and erotic.

This is the best gay paranomal erotica I have read and I have read quite a few. The sex is steamy because this writer bares all with her words. Add to that a touch of magic and the sex is also sensual and alluring. As in "A bit of Rough", Ms Baumbach once again proved her talents. This story is not merely sizzling sex. Her characters, both main and secondary, are well developed and her world building skills is a pleasant surprise in this latest effort. I will read any m/m stories from this writer. Surfing her website I am glad she has quite a few planned in the horizon. Looking forward to her summer release in Loose-id website.
